Pentagon Papers

Instead of rushing headlong into a paper and writing it all in one sitting, working through the writing process actually forced me to stop and thoroughly read every source to find what information I agreed/disagreed with. Pre-writing helped to pinpoint what my beliefs/ideas were in both the personal culture paper as well as the quote-directed paper. Peer review and tutoring really helped to improve the conciseness of my papers, drawing all my thoughts and ideas into clear, cohesive paragraphs…

negative outlook changed gradually after I received each grade in my first semester course of college writing. These grades demonstrated the amount of potential I had in becoming a more proficient writer. Excitement consumed me as I found out the first paper in…

In 8th grade we had to write a research paper, on anything. So being a military fanatic, I did my research paper on if the United States should withdraw from Iraq. Even though it was a research paper, it was on a topic I really enjoyed to research and I had no problem writing it and it was the best one out of the whole school, at least that’s what my teacher and principle told me. It was so good that I got a metal, for the best research paper in my grade. My other great writing experience…

to write but it was to help make the paper more understanding; for it to be more polished. I really do thank my eighth grade teacher, Mrs. Bubp, for her help. Instead of struggling so much through high school writing like I did in middle school, it was actually so much easier. The ways to be able to brain storm idea and then organizing them helps when having to write research or reports. For example I thought I was going to have a hard time writing this paper itself. I had no idea what I was…

mom ,Michelle, to really help me improve my writing. She is always the first person to know when I have a writing assignment and the one who sits with me at the computer and helps me brainstorm ideas. My mom was always the first person to revise my papers and find all my errors and help me fix them. After my fun writings in tenth grade came what everyone says to be the hardest year of high school and the year that counts the most,…

In my third draft it was a long drawn out paragraph that wasn’t terrible, but I wanted a stronger ending. Just like at the end of a speech you want to end with something that will be thought about or remembered, I wanted to end my paper with a strong finish. It helped separate the two thoughts, and it also made for a more direct conclusion paragraph. A little detail that I thought about when editing the last time is my use of the same words over and over again, I noticed that I was…

Special Collections Visit The three-hundred and ninety-five-page book that I surveyed, titled Della Espositione Sopra L’orlando, was published June, 1550 (originally written in roman numerals MDL) by a person named Lorenzo Torrentino. A person by the initials of “U.R.S” was the author and the colophons, mentioned the printer’s name, “DV Cale”. This book was written in purely Italian and was paginated, and its size was fairly small, identifying it as an octavo. The title page included the…

Journal your thoughts on Fisher’s hypothesis and experiment: How do you want to write about this in your response paper? My thoughts about Fisher’s hypothesis and experiment are a little bit confuse to me. Who will think that love is not about feeling but that it is a human drive which makes you reproduce? Since I read Fisher’s paper, every time I think about love, I start to remember about those chemicals of the brain that Fisher mention; Norepinephrine, Dopamine, and Oxytocin. The experiment…

strange dream about a robot lizard. It involved her dog, her brother and baby sister, and of course, a mechanical lizard. The next morning, as soon as the little girl got up, she wrote down what she remembered of the dream, and titled the printer-paper booklet 'Rodot Lizard '. This would be her first of many small, sloppy stories. If you look back at that story, it seems a little far-fetched. A child writing a book?....for her own amusement?.....it can 't be real, right? Well, let me be the…

During the revision process, I focused on the comments that were provided by you to make my paper a better one. I begin to gradually see a difference in what I was writing as I revised. I became clearer on certain aspects of my paper and most importantly I begin to gain more insight in what I was writing about. For example, in the original paper, the sentence “According to various new articles online, the democratic presidential runner, Martin O’Malley, got booed of…
